One thing most of us can agree on is that we dream to make it big. There’s the dream of owning a nice house, a luxurious car, loads of money, and a successful business.

But who would have thought a humble chicken rice stall in a Singapore hawker center could achieve a Michelin star and eventually set the selling price for its recipe at SGD 2 million (RM 6.1 million)!!!

Since the prestigious rating was blessed upon Chef Chan’s stall, many corporations from China, Taiwan, and even Vietnam has reached out to him. But the chef had very little interest in these offers because they were not from the food and beverage (F&B) industry.

He says

“They said they will provide the finances, and me the expertise, but it is not so easy. They are willing to open factories, but how will they be run?”

However, the Singaporean chef is currently in talks with a global F&B company, which he believes they have similar experiences. According to Chef Chan, the company has been expanding exponentially and offers super conditions, along with share options.

“Manpower is a longstanding problem in Singapore, so I want to spend some time studying the details and work out a win-win deal for both parties,”
